"the spittoon was a ubiquitous feature throughout places both private and public (e.g. parlours and passenger cars). The purpose of the spittoon was to provide a receptacle for excess juices and spittle accumulated from the oral use of tobacco. As chewing tobacco's popularity declined throughout the years, the spittoon became merely a relic of the Old West and is rarely seen outside museums. To this very day, spittoons are still present on the floor of the U.S. Senate's old chamber. Chewing tobacco comes in several different varieties. Loose leaf chewing tobacco is the most widely available and most frequently used"
"Cigarette receptacle A cigarette receptacle is a container or device for extinguishing and disposal of cigarette waste. Other common names for cigarette receptacle include: ash urn, ash pan, cigarette butt receptacles, butt bins, butt holders, snuffers, smokers poles, cigarette waste receptacles, smokers waste receptacles, and ash/trash combination. Originally provided as a courtesy to smokers in public places, cigarette receptacles are now commonplace as smoking bans and designated smoking areas require proper disposal methods. A typical receptacle can hold hundreds - even thousands - of disposed cigarette butts. While the United States congress has not attempted to pass a nationwide smoking"

It is also known as a cuspidor (which is the Portuguese word for ""spitter"" or ""spittoon"", from the verb ""cuspir"" meaning ""to spit""), although that term is also used for a type of spitting sink used in dentistry. In the late 19th century, spittoons became a very common feature of pubs, brothels, saloons, hotels, stores, banks, railway carriages, and other places where people (especially adult men) gathered, most notably in the United States, but allegedly also in Australia.

It comprises a chamber (the bowl) for the tobacco from which a thin hollow stem (shank) emerges, ending in a mouthpiece (the bit). Pipes can range from very simple machine-made briar models to highly prized hand-made artisanal implements made by renowned pipemakers, which are often very expensive collector's items.

Wall mounted cigarette receptacles are manufactured in a variety of shapes, sizes and butt disposal methods. Units with all-metal construction allow disposing of cigarette butts into a container with no other extinguishing media required. Some receptacles utilize a separate butt container for clean-out, while one-piece models simply dump used butts.

"Chewing tobacco Chewing tobacco is a type of smokeless tobacco product consumed by placing a portion of the tobacco between the cheek and gum or upper lip teeth and chewing. Unlike dipping tobacco, it is not ground and must be manually crushed with the teeth to release flavour and nicotine. Unwanted juices are then expectorated (spat). Chewing tobacco is typically manufactured as several varieties of product – most often as loose leaf (or scrap), pellets (tobacco ""bites"" or ""bits""), and ""plug"" (a form of loose leaf tobacco condensed with a binding sweetener). Nearly all modern chewing tobaccos are produced via"

Chew bags are defined by European Commission, European Binding Tariff Information (EBTI) as cut or fine cut tobacco flakes (between 1-2 mm wide and 2-6 mm long) packed in sachets. By varying the sachet between the upper lip and by chewing, the consumer controls the release of flavor or nicotine.

The company was founded in Racine, Wisconsin by John W. Hammes, who was working as an architect there. Hammes is credited with inventing the ""in-sink"" food waste disposal in 1927, for his wife. It works by grinding and shredding solid food waste. He spent ten years improving the design and went into business selling the appliance. His company was called the In-Sink-Erator Manufacturing Company. The name is a play on the word ""incinerator"""
"Dipping tobacco Dipping tobacco is a type of finely ground or shredded, moistened smokeless tobacco product. It is commonly and idiomatically known by various terms—most often as dip and sometimes as rub. It is used by placing a lump, pinch, or ""dip"" of tobacco between the lip and the gum. The act of using it is called ""dipping"". Typically, before dipping, the act of ""packing"" is performed, where the user places the ""can"" in between the thumb and middle finger, then flicks the index finger onto the lid of the can.

Other ashtrays, particularly in public places, are wall-mounted, and larger than standard tabletop ashtrays due to the increased use they receive.
